So I know I’m not the first person to post about Spring in Japan, but being a foreigner and having never seen sakura flowers before, I was overly excited and took way too many pictures.

Not only did I get to go to Nagoya Castle but I also got to view a Star Wars exhibit, Star Wars: Visions. It included real and replica props and costumes from the movies, as well as a lot of artwork selected by George Lucas. It was fascinating to see how much talent and effort was put into these pieces of art. I wasn’t allowed to take any photos inside but I did get to take a picture with some cool cosplayers outside!!



It’s a shame these only last for a little less than a month. I’m glad I got to be here to experience this. As well as get a nice picture with Darth Vader and Darth Maul! Spring is beautiful here. I’m just hoping it won’t get too hot too fast now!
